“I went with a group of friends for my birthday last night. It was AMAZING. The service was great, everyone was so friendly. The place itself was so clean and cute, really cool vibe. The Apps were great, Hush Puppies and Fried Calamari, yum. I did a make-your-own Seafood Boil. OH MY GOD. The New Zealand Mussels, King Crab and Dungeness Crab was out of this world in the Cajun Butter Sauce. I HIGHLY recommend this spot and will be going back.“

“Eddie V’s Paramus is a gem! The Ahi Tuna Tartare was fresh and bursting with flavor, and the Filet Medallions Oscar Style with crab fried rice were absolute perfection. Service was phenomenal — Amy was amazing, and every staff member made us feel like VIPs. I skipped dessert, but they insisted I try one on the house — a classy touch that sealed the night. Elegant atmosphere, incredible food, and hospitality that goes above and beyond!“

“Ten of us arrived at Waterside Restaurant and Caterers to celebrate Nina’s birthday. Located at 7800 B River Rd, North Bergen NJ 07047, we pulled up in front and valet parking made everything simple and stress-free. Right from the outside, the restaurant gave off an upscale and elegant vibe.

Our dining experience. The décor was modern and stylish, some tables with linen-draped and low lighting that created a warm, inviting atmosphere. Some seating was indoors or outdoors, and the outdoor seating offered a beautiful waterfront view that made the evening feel even more special. One of the best surprises was the DJ. who played some of my favorite jazzy house tracks, which gave our dinner great energy.

The service was excellent — attentive without being overbearing. Our server knew the menu well and gave spot-on recommendations for appetizers and dinner.

Menu Highlights For our appetizer, it was fresh Gulf Shrimp “Al Ajillo” which is roasted garlic and chili infused olive oil. When brought to the table it was bubbling hot in a small cast iron pan which Lauro and I shared. The other people with us had a variety of choices.

Greek style brick chicken with Baby zucchini, fingerling potatoes, infused olive oil, candied lemon. I thought it would have been half chicken but didn’t realize it was Cornish hens. It was good, but slightly overcooked. The fingerling potatoes were perfect as well as the infused olive oil with roasted garlic and baby carrots.

Homemade Lasagna Alla Bolognese was Beef Bolognese, bechamel, fresh mozzarella, Parmigiano. Lauro said he enjoyed it very much because it had flavor and cooked perfectly. The pasta and mozzarella along with the bechamel sauce was delicious.

Filet Mignon à la Carte Shannel’s choice of the filet mignon proved to be a highlight of the evening. Expertly prepared and elegantly plated, the dish was both a culinary and visual triumph. Each bite delivered rich, tender flavor that she thoroughly enjoyed, while the presentation elevated the experience—transforming the plate into a work of art. However, she noted that the mashed potatoes had no flavor at all and seasoning seemed to be forgotten.

The birthday girl, Nina Pan Roasted Salmon. A beautifully executed dish that balances elegance with comfort. The salmon was perfectly pan-roasted—crisp on the outside, tender and flaky within. It rested atop a bed of crushed cannellini beans and escarole, which added a creamy, earthy depth. A thoughtful composition that delivers both flavor and finesse.

Overall Impression and rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5. Waterside Restaurant and Caterers nail the balance of fine dining and a vibrant nightlife vibe. Between the valet, the elegant setting, the creative menu, and the music, everything came together for a truly memorable night. It’s a little pricey, and not worth what they charge therefore, check their website first. It’s the perfect spot for a date, a celebration, or even just treating yourself. Stop by either by yourself or a date and enjoy your evening. The general consensuses of the food was prepared well but lacked seasoning.“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Try the mixed grilled sampler, and the desserts are espectacular!!!“

“Luke's lobster is known for the lobster dishes, as the lobster rolls but I went there looking for a clam chowder (New England style) and wasn't disappointed. Creamy and tasty. I missed a touch of bacon, but I guess this is not on the traditional recipe.
And next time I should definitely go for the lobster roll.
It's a small and cozy place. You can dine in or take away.“

“Excelente atención y muy buen sazón“

“This is a truly authentic Japanese experience. It instantly brought me back to the ramen I had in Japan—comforting, rich, and perfectly balanced. Honestly, this is the best ramen I’ve had anywhere in the U.S., even compared to the fancy spots in NYC. It’s amazing to have something this special right here in New Jersey. With humility and simplicity, they’ve created something truly unforgettable. Thank you.“

“The trout is the best in the area. The servers can be unprofessional and rude. When asked to tie back their hair, the request was refused. A nonsense response of not required was insulting. As an experienced service trainer, the hair in question should have been restraining. Health department requirements override a servers vain attitude.“

“Calamares y cóctel delicioso“

“Very delicious food .. seafood is on point“

“First time in Harlem, the best food hands down.. we ate everything on our plates!Customerservice. Great and friendly would definitely recommend definitely visit again. Will definitely continue to share how great Sylvias in Harlem was We also bought her seasoning and hot sauce“

“I was there for Mother’s Day (had a reservation). The staff is friendly and very attentive. And the food was delicious. Will definitely try it again.“

“My brothers and I hosted our dad’s 60th birthday in one of the private rooms upstairs. Maria took care of us and service was incredible all night! We chose the 3 course sit down menu and family style appetizers which were all incredible. I highly recommend coming here for a private event and will be back soon to try the rest of the menu!“

“I visited this place after seeing it on TikTok, I was craving some good fish and thought I’d give it a try. Honestly, I didn’t have any expectations, but the entire experience turned out to be an incredible surprise.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear they recognized we were tourists, and they welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality. They took the time to explain the menu and help us choose our dishes, which we really appreciated.

The service was fast, and before our actual order arrived, they brought out three generous tasting plates so we could sample a variety of flavors. At first, I thought that was our full order, it was that impressive! Then came our main dishes, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The shrimp in particular were unforgettable, so fresh and flavorful.

If there were more than 5 bubbles to give, I absolutely would. The food, the people, the atmosphere, everything was extraordinary. A truly heartwarming and tasty experience. Highly recommended!“

“Es un lindo lugar para compartir con la familia, los empleados son muy atentos y amable, la comida muy buena y llega a la mesa aún caliente 🔥, lo recomiendo 💯.“

“The food was excellent. Thank you Earl. I will be back.“

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at The Capital Grille Every visit to The Capital Grille feels like a masterclass in hospitality, and this time was no exception. From the moment we walked in, we were treated not just as guests, but as cherished regulars. Chris F. greeted us by name—a small gesture that made a huge impact and set the tone for an evening of personalized, attentive service that went far beyond perfect. The food? Impeccable, as always. Each dish was a flawless execution of flavor, presentation, and quality. Whether you're indulging in their signature steaks or savoring the sides and desserts, every bite reminds you why this place is a cut above the rest. And the value—truly unbelievable. For the level of excellence delivered across the board, it's worth every penny and then some. The Capital Grille doesn't just serve meals; it crafts experiences that linger long after the last course. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates top-tier dining with a personal touch. Bravo to the entire team, and especially to Chris F. for making us feel like VIPs.“

“$20 for all you can eat shrimp“

“so fresh. highly recommend everything on the menu is so good“

“This place has both Korean BBQ grill and traditional Korean dishes. Actually it has a surprisingly wide selection of traditional Korean dishes despite the name. Interior is nicer than most others. Service was great (they grill it for you table side). Parking available. Lunch specials too. Very comfortable and delicious spot. I will be back!“

“An Absolute Gem for Seafood Lovers Shaking Crab is hands-down one of the best seafood spots I’ve been to in a long time! The food is flavorful, fresh, and served piping hot. I ordered the crab combo with their signature shaking sauce (medium spice), and every bite was packed with bold, buttery, garlicky goodness. The seasoning is just right—savory with a little kick that doesn’t overpower the natural flavor of the seafood.

The Christy was so friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in. Christy herself made sure our experience was top-notch, which really added a personal touch to the meal. The vibe of the place is fun, casual, and perfect for a seafood feast with friends or family.“

“This place is a hidden gem. We were looking for place to make our go to spot. Once my foodie fiance tasted the catfish it was goto spot approved. The service is outstanding as they took very good care of us. The food is very tasty and nicely seasoned. We will be back.“

“The Lobster Rolls🦞 🥖 here are great & tasty. With the sauces included is a + but with out it, it's still excellent. With the Canjun Fries🍟 is even better. The service was great & the staff was attentive & nice. I would definitely be back & i recommend this place for your seafood boil. 🥖🦞🦀🦐🥘🍴🧈🥤“

“Boyfriend’s family have been raving about this place so the bar was set high. The beet salad was delicious (sorry the only photo I took ??‍♀️) so I was excited ordering my entree. However, the Branzino was a huge disappointment. ??

Tasted very much like farm-raised fish and lacked the flavor & texture of wild ?. Also, it was served with the head - just FYI.

The atmosphere was beautiful and we got to sit right on the water and service was superb. I might consider giving them another try for those two reason but def won’t be ordering fish again.“

“Musette is an ideal spot that effortlessly shifts from day to night. During the day, it’s a warm and inviting coffee shop that’s perfect for getting work done. Come evening, it becomes a stylish wine bar with an unbeatable atmosphere. The wine flights are a highlight perfect for sampling a variety of wines. The staff are knowledgeable and always ready with excellent suggestions. Their pinchos, burrata, pastries, coffee and curated wine list never disappoint. Musette consistently hits the mark.“

“I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. The food is awful. Mozzarella sticks were frozen, Cajun fries, a handful of paprika drowned over the top Today beer that's normally $6 was $8 plus a $4 tip, tax and looking for another tip. Bill should have been $20 it's $30. Live with your wn failure. Don't put it on the customers. Pretty bartenders won't cover incompetence.“

“Great and affordable food. They did my wedding and all events for my family’s gathering. The owner and staff are very personable. Highly recommend it.“

“Drove 4 hours from Syracuse NY just for the stew chicken! Only to eat it in the car before I drove off 🤣 Safe to say, I went back inside for another dish 🤣🤣 5 ⭐️’s #ThaAuthor“

“I rarely write a review but I have been obsessed with Crab Du Jour since they opened in Harlem. My experience here has been delightful from the food to the friendly and attentive staff members who make customers feel right at home. If you are a seafood lover who’s in the mood for mouth-watering authentic Cajun dishes that won't break the bank, look no further than Crab Du Jour in Harlem; just steps away from the hustle and bustle of 125th Street. Their signature boils are an absolute must-try! They offer a variety of options like Crawfish, Shrimp, Snow Crab legs, Dungeness Crabs and Lobster Tail – all cooked to perfection! Each boil comes with potatoes and corn on the cob and your choice of classic garlic butter, lemon pepper, and the original Cajun or Crab du jour special, sauce. I usually add sausage to my boil; Yummy! Looking for something other than boils, there are plenty of choices! They offer dishes like po’ boys sandwiches which come with fried oysters or fried fish filets. My friend really likes the crispy chicken po’boy. They also offer fried shrimp baskets, or crab cake baskets, just to name a few. Regardless of what you choose off the menu here, you can be sure that it will be delicious and flavorful every single time!“

“My boyfriend and I LOVE this place and has been our go to lately. We mix between the fried flounder, whole red snapper and fried shrimp- so good! The fried yuca is top tier in my opinion. The yellow rice is pretty good as well. Not too expensive and you get a lot of food.“

“I recommend it to you. My favorite is the churrasco and a glass of Portuguese wine. There is a variety. To spend a pleasant time with family or as a couple. The customer service is good… 🥩🍷. te lo recomiendo mi favorito el churrasco y una copa de vino portugues hay variedad. para pasar un rato agradable en familia o en pareja. la atencion al cliente buena … y para soprender a un cumpleañero perfeto🍷“

“Great food definitely a good choice“
